Well, you've no idea if Pine and IMP are running on the same machine,
so I'm not sure how you'd get them to communicate with each other. I
suppose you could modify Pine and your IMAP server to lock when
necessary, but that's not an IMP issue at all.

Probably not, because, if IMP and Pine are running on the same machine
both using IMAP, you have no way of knowing that multiple connections
are coming from both, and not just from one or the other. Of course, I
can't see any *reason* why you'd want to disallow two clients' access
at once, either.
